This site is making me NEED to have all kinds of things I didn't know I neeeded, one of them being the LV shawl. They're so pretty (and I've only seen them in pix on this site!)
I have a black mono shawl and yes, they're pretty fragile but they're just so pretty!!! Perfect for weddings and any special events, although I know some people wear it out casually but I just can't. Much too afraid to ruin it.
And as for cleaning, I take it to the dry cleaners.
